The felling of the well-known tree has caused outrage
Police investigating the felling of the world-famous Sycamore Gap tree have made a second arrest. Northumbria Police said the man in his 60s remains in police custody assisting officers with inquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Fenney-Menzies, of Northumbria Police, said: “The senseless destruction of what is undoubtedly a world-renowned landmark – and a local treasure – has quite rightly resulted in an outpour of shock, horror and anger throughout the North East and further afield. “If you’ve seen or heard anything suspicious that may be of interest to us – I’d implore you to contact us.
The National Trust said it was “shocked and saddened” to confirm that the “iconic” tree had been cut down overnight after pictures emerged on Thursday morning of it lying on its side near the ancient Roman wall, which is a Unesco World Heritage site. New shoots are expected to grow from the tree but it will never be the same again, experts have said.
